With the passing of the holiday season, it's time to acknowledge people for the kind things that they have done for you. The holidays are soo busy and stressful, so you may keep putting thank yous on your to-do list. Don't. Let me reiterate. The holidays are soo busy and stressful AND these people took time out of their busy lives to do something special FOR YOU! So let them know how much you appreciate it! Whether it's a gift or an invitation to Christmas dinner, send a HANDWRITTEN note. Please do not send an email. They didn't just email you a picture of dinner, they spend all day cooking it.

Tips

* Hand-write your notes

* Organize. Make a list of everybody you need to write, what they did for you, and their addresses.

* If they gave you a gift, name the gift, and how you have used it or plan to use it. (Emily Post taught me this!! It shows that you care. ( http://www.emilypost.com/)

* Send your notes within a month of the date you received the kind act, preferably within 2-weeks or sooner.
